" Mitch Albom's book is a gift to mankind." - Philadelphia Inquirer
" An extraodinary contribution to the literature of death." -Boston Globe 

Mitch Albom has written other books but i have never read any of the others. To tell you the truth i have never read such a great book in my life. No other book is like this one. Its unique in some way that i can not describe. Its fantastic and intreaging. I recommand it to anyone willing to cry a little bit.

" Weren't you ever arfaid to grow old, i asked ?"
    " Mitch, i embrace aging."
       " embrace it? "(118)

I am deffinitly a fan of Mitch Albom's work. I think he is a fabulous writer. This book has tremendously changed the way i look at life. It makes me releize that i should not hold onto the stupid things in life. I need to apprciate what i have and embrace it. I need to enjoy life. Live life like there is no tomorrow everyday.
